General Tso Cauliflower Is The Next Genius Way To Use Cauliflower

Cauliflower power has never rang more true.

Nov 5, 2016

We're obsessed with using cauliflower in as many ways possible: It can be pizza crust! It can be so addicting we call it crack! It can take the place of potatoes in a loaded bake. Exciting stuff, right? RIGHT. Turning cauli florets into General Tso chicken is our new favorite way to use the cruciferous—it's insane how well cauliflower works here!

I debated frying the cauliflower but then decided no one likes frying at home; we needed a simpler (and healthier!) way. So I breaded the florets in flour, milk, and panko and then baked them until golden and crispy.

While they're baking, you make a super easy sauce, a combo of garlic and ginger, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. It might not be the most *authentic* Tso sauce we've ever tasted, but it tastes amazing and will come together in, oh, 3 minutes.
